Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | Bootlegger who amassed £15m fortune from pirate CDs jailed "The 11-year career of the world's biggest bootlegger came to an end yesterday when he was jailed for three and a half years for ripping off some of the pop industry's biggest stars to the tune of at least £15m. Mark Purseglove, 33, drove a £104,000 Aston Martin, sported a Rolex Oyster watch and owned several homes in the most exclusive parts of London, all of which were funded by his international business in counterfeit CDs." Crazy stuff. I wonder if it's even possibel to make this muc h off bootlegs anymore, seeing everyone can make them so easily now. |
